Ok without getting in on the fighting, here is a sidenote piece of advice...

When you get stuck trying to get that last little bit of the tire on (with or without levers) often your problem is not that last little stuborn bit, but that the part you already have on is not sitting evenly. Many times if you just take it off and start over it will slide right on rather quickly and you will save yourself a lot of cussing and blisters on your thumbs or palms or levers whatever you happen to be using.
